I predict Dead & Co will open with Viola Lee Blues tonight - Peglegpete May 30, 14:16
I've waited for this for so long. Would still rather it was one of the federal cases, but it's something. And realistically maybe the biggest impact - pmb May 30, 14:13 2

    - :- | -- nm - mud May 30, 14:18
(not american...) he is now a felon right? does that mean the presidency-run is officially dead? -- nm - Andie May 30, 14:11 27
- Recent poll: 15% of respondents said they would be more likely to vote for him if convicted - decline May 30, 14:14 10
  - So they are now extra extra likely to vote for him -- nm - zork May 30, 14:20 1
    - press the button harder! -- nm - Reagen May 30, 14:21
  - I don't trust polls these days as I don't think they reach a diverse group of people. -- nm - Krusty May 30, 14:18

  - but 85% would be less, right? - Andie May 30, 14:15 1
    - I'm assuming a certain percentage is "no change." -- nm - loosilu May 30, 14:18
  - Man, and Biden was so close to getting those votes -- nm - Reagen May 30, 14:15 1
    - Those same people are certain Joe is a criminal, so. -- nm - loosilu May 30, 14:19
- He can run, but he can't vote. -- nm - pmb May 30, 14:13 3

    - Supreme Court of the United States says......." YES" number one answer on the board -- nm - Steve Harvey SI May 30, 14:17 1
      - Hah :) -- nm - Beryllium May 30, 15:04
- people have run from prison before. It means he can't vote though. -- nm - Reagen May 30, 14:13
- Heck no. He’ll still be nominated, unless they change the convention rules. He can still win; then pardon himself. -- nm - mara May 30, 14:13 2
  - not for state crimes (even if he could) -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 14:14 1
    - Ah, thanks. -- nm - mara May 30, 14:15
- no constitutional bar, but under Florida law may be prohibited from voting for himself -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 14:13
- THat I think has to be determined with the Supreme Count and Presidential Immunity -- nm - Remlik May 30, 14:12 3
  - He wasn’t president at the time, was he? Immunity is for official acts as president. -- nm - mara May 30, 14:13 2
    - some of the cohen checks were cut from the oval office -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 14:14 1

- (i have no confidence he'll go to jail.) -- nm - Andie May 30, 14:12 1
  - True, but that felon label stays. It means he can't vote in the election. -- nm - loosilu May 30, 14:12

- standing by this -- (link) - hollywood big shot May 30, 13:41 [Backboard] 7
  - When it's this fast, it's usually bad for the defendant. I was thinking hung jury because msnbc noted one juror was a fox/x news fan -- nm - zeitgeist May 30, 13:45 3
    - i think that was mostly speculation. there were two actual lawyers on the jury, which always seemed like bad news for trying to bullshit them -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 13:46 2
      - I think I read the biggest concern would be they might over-lawyer the case and look for technicality that might not exist. -- nm - Will Hunting May 30, 13:52 1
        
        i think the average attorney spends half of their time dumbing down legalese to the client or other non-lawyers - hollywood big shot May 30, 13:58
  - Realistically at this point I think it has to be guilty (at least on some) because I think his best hope was a hung jury. -- nm - pmb May 30, 13:44 2
    - indeed. -- nm - mud May 30, 13:46
    - that would be my instinct -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 13:45

I need this new 'Access Hollywood' tape to come out. *Just* to watch Republicans come out in favor of using the N word. I want to witness that. -- nm - Jovian May 30, 12:21 16
- Unless the tape still exists this won't be anything. I'm guessing Mark Burnett has that tape and my recollection is that he would not be interested - pmb May 30, 12:56 10
  - things might have been different in 2004 but i suspect one or more of the editors has a copy somewhere on a personal hard drive but don't feel - hollywood big shot May 30, 13:00 8
    - NDA violation would get them embroiled in a ruinous lawsuit. Donny was notorious for NDAs I'll bet even Ivanka,, jr n eric signed one. -- nm - zeitgeist May 30, 13:21 2
      - The guy who wrote the article indicated his NDA just expired, so likely others have as well. -- nm - pmb May 30, 13:36
      - breaking an NDA is how I know that DJT and Melania have their own separate Side Pieces. -- nm* - Jovian May 30, 13:26
    - Imagine having the moral degradation one would need to possess to have your IM as their actual line of thinking. - Jovian May 30, 13:03 4
      - Except your IM wouldn't be how they tell it to themselves, because they don't believe that -- nm - Beryllium May 30, 13:14 3
        
        Well right. In reality its either, I am a cultist or Im going to go scorched Earth with this. -- nm - Jovian May 30, 13:23 2
        
        No, it is not black and white. You're forgetting about stupid, ignorant, and selfish. In short, you're forgetting that showbiz is riddled with aholes. -- (link) - Beryllium May 30, 13:39 [youtube] 1
        
        Lol, the thumbnail makes it seem like I'm talking about Morgan Freeman. No, the OTHER guy. -- nm - Beryllium May 30, 13:40
